Some feelings fired up again while commenting on a blog

This is a copy of my comment on sunil rao's(Friend at SIBM,Bangalore) blog.Now ,you must be thinking ki kahin bhi kuchh bhi likhta hai to apne blog pe daal deta hai.Well,I have lost a notebook containing some of my best poems so feels like saving every single word penned by me.Waise bhi,this one is worth saving since it contains some of my feelings which I wished to express since long.

Well said sunil!In fact,I had similar feelings when the elections for president and coordinators were going on.Among highly educated to-be-MBAs we had issues like Section,Native place,group being considered for voting.Hey!How does that matter if the person is well qualified in terms of skills and potential to do the job.And we blame illiterate or power-greedy politicians for what they do?They can do it because we let them do it ,and walk away winning it.
Somewhere I read that "In a democracy,people get what they deserve" and in the context of Indian politics ,this seems very very apt.We,the people are responsible for the kind of politicans we get,how public is treated by public servants,how bloody tiny countries like bangladesh,pakistan can think of sending terrorists in this country to create havoc and still get away with it,how a bangladesh can kill our soldiers and treat corpse as dead body of an animal,how people are humiliated by a few goondas in front of hundreds of mute spectators,how girls can be teased right in front of many,how castes can hold states to stand-still to demand for reservations on the merit of belonging to a particular caste,how politicians can even dare to go in front of public in spite of have taken the constituency from bad to worse.
Yes,we are responsible because we choose to be mute spectators.We choose to vote on the basis on caste,community,personal pehchan,religion, or in some cases on the basis of class sections.We choose to be mute spectators to the kind of behaviour we get from politicians and bureaucrats working either on their behalf or working due to their great policies(read reservations).
We ,as a democracy need to grow up.I loved the phrase-'Be the change you want to see in the world'.
It is also a matter of psychological and behavioral tendencies of choosing the familiar,something or someone which/who can fit into your perceived scheme of things or can benefit you(even at the cost of others).Khair,It is another big story...may be some other day......

p.s.-Me,you,we all are part of what I said.I am not excluding myself but yes at least honestly trying to get out of it,have succeded a bit and still trying.........
